Renewable Energy

NYS Landowners hold a number of natural resources that are of interest to renewable energy developers. This provides opportunities for landowners. To help landowners through the decision making process of renewable energy development we have compiled a number of resources.

Farmers’ Market Training

In July 2007, in collaboration with the Farmers Market Federation of NYS and the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, we ran a training titled “Enhancing Leadership and Organization for Farmers' Market Success”. A draft publication was developed as the training material for this and with input from the group will be finalized and posted on this website in the near future.
